Description

The name Les Paul is synonymous with the electric guitar.  As a player, inventor and recording artist, Paul has been an innovator his entire life.  Born Lester William Polfus in 1915 in Waukesha, Wisconsin, Paul built his first crystal radio at age nine - which was about the time he first picked up a guitar. By age 13 he was performing semi-professionally as a country-music guitarist and working diligently on sound-related inventions.  In 1941, Paul built his first solid-body electric guitar, and he continued to make refinements to his prototype throughout the decade.  It's safe to say that rock and roll as we know it would not exist without his invention.


Now you can own a piece of history with this Gibson Les Paul Guitar signed by the Jazz and Rock Legend, Les Paul.

This is a Live Event Item.
